If your so worried about what's legal & what's not, excessive revs, speed, noise, loss of traction are all illigal, so why not buy a Honda instead?

Make sure it's an Auto Honda Jazz, then buy RAYS extended lug nuts and install bucket seats from a Type-R.. don't forget the tow hooks front and back.. real JDM look & feel.. restecpa

Haha with chrome tail lights and chrome vault 17's...?

Op, they will never make it illigal to sell mods, people will usually mod a car before they register it with CAMs etc. you can't relate it to gun / drug laws because their directly related to safety. A blow off valve is not.

I understand where you're coming from but there are heaps of laws and restrictions in place unrelated to "safety". Like age restrictions on purchasing scratchies and lottery tickets. Age restrictions for viewing movies and tv shows. You have to show ID just to purchase a SIM card, how is that related to safety?

That's a bit naive perhaps.

Scratchies and lottery tickets is gambling. Gambling is restricted to adults, so that children with young, immature, plastic brains do not learn bad habits and become problem gamblers. Same with adult content in movies and TV shows. ID to purchase a SIM card is to try to keep the population under control - it's a matter of being able to police the use of technology that can facilitate crime and terrorism. Sure, they probably go over the top, but the natural tendency of any democracy is to strangulate itself with laws and regulations designed to "protect" the populace from itself, even if they don't really need it.

The very last thing anyone should be doing is advocating restrictions on ANYTHING that doesn't already have it and doesn't need it. Performance modification parts, etc, definitely fall into that category.

You have to show I.D because say for example you make a death threat or bomb threat with the number/sim card, they can trace it back to you.

Similar to if you were a drug dealer, sending text msgs back and forth about you 5kg of cocaine you want to offload, they can track/follow you.

Not related to safety at all..

You do relise that 000 calls can be made from a mobile without a simcard.

And if someone was desperate enough they could use someone else's simcard, its not hard ive lost two mobiles in my time. Or perhaps attempt to use someone else's ID. Again thats not hard considering people lose their wallet's alot.

I purely made this forum to get an understanding as to why something illegal on our streets was significantly available to anyone. Not just those who use it for track purposes. Regardless of weather its safe or unsafe is irrelevant because it still is illegal.

U do realise no one would be stupid enough to call 000 to make a bomb or death threat, which was the example Kane used. He's right not only can sims be used to track calls, texts and phone tapping, it can also be used as a GPS tracker. Many people have been convicted of murder, from the evidence of there phone signal being in the vicinity of the crime scene.

While i c u have a point, at the same time its a good thing its not made illegal because why would we want to make it harder on us. I've always wondered when the speed limit is 110 then why the hell do cars can reach 300km/h, when a $100 speed limiter is all that it would take to enforce that law. It's because cars that reach that speeds will seel more, they make more tax, more jobs at holdens etc and then more revenue from speeding over the limit.

Some things are kind of whack yes but it's a good thing we can stil buy go fast bits, so not actually sure why u brought this topic up , weather u wanted to mod you're own car with a BOV and timer or just spark a heated debate

Where did I mention calling triple zero? I could be referring to making a bomb threat at your local KFC... Any person with half a brain would call their phone company and block their SIM card yeah?

Why is Marijuana so readily available?

Why are guns so easy to buy?

Like I said, worst thread on SAU..

Are you 12?

I thought school had resumed??

    • If they can dyno them, get them dyno'd, make sure they're not leaking, and if they look okay on the dyno and are performing relatively well, put them in the car.   If they're leaking oil etc, and you feel so inclined, open them up yourself and see what you can do to fix it. The main thing you're trying to do is replace the parts that perish, like seals. You're not attempting to change the valving. You might even be able to find somewhere that has the Tein parts/rebuild kit if you dig hard.
    • Can you also make sure the invoices on the box (And none exist in the boxes) are below our import duty limits... I jest, there's nothing I need to actually purchase and order in. (Unless you can find me a rear diff carrier, brand new, for stupidly cheap, that is for a Toyota Landcruiser, HZJ105R GXL, 2000 year model...)  
    • Murphy strikes again! Nothing at all would have gone wrong if you had the tool kit in the car! You'd have just found the clamp loose the next time you went to touch it...
    • I have been being VERY quiet about what you're alluding to, as it is something that ticks me off... The number of cars from factory that run coil overs is HUGE! Most of them these days do... The other part that annoys me, is people saying "Well all the incabin adjustable suspension is illegal by blah blah blah"... If that's the case, then why can I buy a car brand new that can do it if, FULL STOP in cabin adjustable suspension is illegal...   Also, I could just chuck some aftermarket shocks in my car, throw the stock springs on, after my blue slip, dump my super low springs back in. Same shock and spring style setup... Hell, they could also be the same colour springs etc.     I'm voting, BlueSlipper didn't want to touch the above car for some reason. Whether it be some sort of bias against the car, the owner, them maybe having previously done dodgy shit and now they're being super careful in case they get slapped in the face by the Gumbyment again... Find a new blueslip place.   And can confirm as you had said, yes there are holy bibles of vehicle heights, and all sorts of other suspension stuff. Heck your run of the mill mechanic, and tyre shop has access to all of that stuff. It's how they do wheel alignments...
    • Funny story Heading to Sydney this morning on the HWY there was some slow traffic, so I gave it the beans and midway through my overtaking "power run" I lost all power It seems that I missed a hose clamp,  and the MAF and filter went WiFi To make this more problematic, the little tool kit that lives in the boot, is sitting in the sun room at Goulburn......LOL Luckily for me I found a bit of steel on the side of the road that could be used like a rusty and bent flat head screw driver to tighten it up enough that it got me into Sydney, it is now all tight like a tiger with the aid of a 8mm socket Note to self: Use my brain and double check stuff, and always keep that little tool kit in the car for when I have a brain fart
